Bec Hill Climb - KPRC Result

A lovely day with lots of support. Thanks to the many KPRC members who took the trouble to cycle or drive over and cheer the Phoenix riders. Dale was quickest once again, with Simon just nabbing second spot in front of David. Mike had a good ride, but the less said about my effort the better. Hopefully this event will still be on next year for me to have another crack at it.

BEC Hill Climb Sunday 11 Oct 2015 start 2pm

Well KPRC riders we are lucky (well at least me!) to get on the start sheet as there is a reserve list of 10 riders. Our rider positions are:
No. 4 Mike M.
No. 9 Simon T
No. 16 Alex K
No. 27 David W
No. 34 Dale L

The start is 2pm after the Catford in the morning on York Hill. One reason I believe that we got on the start sheet is because KPRC members have always supported the event even over the lean early years when the event did not attract full fields. We have always had many members act as spectators and that is recognized by the organizer. So Please members turn out in full as much as you can to support our five riders. Not sure if that's a record entry for KPRC. I know that Gary Dodd has won this event more than once but maybe not as KPRC.
The weather forecast is favourable at the moment thank goodness. I remember riding out some years ago when I was a member of SRCC and we had snow and horrendous cold rain!

Well Dale after your Triathlon in Barcelona you should be screaming fit - well done we at KPRC are proud of you and happy to have such a fast rider developing our club capabilities and profile - keep it up!
Best of luck to all!

Novel Hill Climb Event Redhill/Dorking CC

Last year Frank Cubis timed this very interesting hill climb event which takes place on the newly surfaced track behind Denbies. Franks enforced absence was missed by the organizers Dorking CC and Reedhill CC but the event went off very smoothly with generous sponsorship and good prizes.
The event started at 8.30am with the first round of 66 riders including sadly only 4 ladies. Jake maybe you should have a go next year. There were a number of DNS including last years lady winner Maryka Sennema along with about 10 men.
The event starts off with two riders setting off together and riding an elimination. The first over the line goes forward to the next knock out round and so on the the Final and Semi Final.
Last years second lady Alice Lethbridge was the winner of the ladies and the winner of the men's was rider number 1 (not sure name as start sheet I have is smudged). Photo however below with partner at the finish!

Dale Lush at Ironman Barcelona

As if tearing up the TT courses of Surrey was not enough, Dale Lush took part in Ironman Barcelona today and absolutely smashed it with a time of 9:43:40, which included a 4:41 bike leg followed by a 3:41 marathon. Dale was aiming for a sub 10hour time having recently raced 10:02, so to take over 18 minutes off shows how fast he's going at the moment.

This is a brilliant achievement and saw Dale ending up being 58th in his very competitive age group  and 224th overall. Chapeau Dale.

Lush, Dale
